Dear Scott,
If you want to play Alpharay then an SD2IEC doesn't work.
You may need a 1541 disc drive or an 1551 disc drive and a normal disc to be used with these drives.
This one http://retroemu.hu/sd1541.php was also reported to work with older games which use the same loader as Alpharay, so Alpharay most probably works with this device.
But an SD2IEC sadly does not work with Alpharay.
Some other games (and perhaps many demos) also don't work with an SD2IEC.
Sorry to say that, because I know game collectors seem to like the SD2IEC.
Just that it has no real drive emulation it's just a single file storage device and not a full disc drive emulation like other more modern devices.
Dunno if that helps, perhaps it prevents you from frustration after you bought an SD2IEC and "Pets Rescue" and "Alpharay" just don't work with that file storage device.
If you too own a C64 then you can use an "Ultimate 1541" plugged in to your C64 and connected to the Plus/4 to play these games, too..
